Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

you’re about to waste my fucking time but:

Mindset theory itself is incredibly controversial for a number of reasons, chief of which is that nobody can seem to reliably replicate the results of Dweck's academic work.

Ed links an article that talks about elements of the replication crisis in enough detail for an article where the replication crisis isn’t anywhere near on-topic, and I don’t think the article would be better if it included that detail

feel free to include evidence in your reply that you aren’t here to be a debate shitlord

I'm also confused as to what the takeaway was supposed to be here. Like, because a whole bunch of different famous psych studies fail to replicate maybe this one is less invalid?

Also, were they expecting Ed Zitron of all people to not write a polemical?
